Resurfaced photo shows Biden press sec Jen Psaki wearing hammer and sickle hat with Russian official
The hammer and sickle have come to represent communist movements around the world.

Jen Psaki, who was named to serve as President-elect Biden's White House press secretary, is facing fresh scrutiny over a photo that shows her wearing a Russian hat that bears the communist hammer-and-sickle logo.
Psaki, who served in former President Obama's State Department, was gifted the pink shapka, or fur hat, by her then-counterpart, spokesperson Maria Zakharova, in Russia. A photo from 2014 shows Psaki wearing the hat while posing with then-Secretary of State John Kerry, who has been appointed to serve as Biden's "climate czar," and Zakharova.
Also standing next to Psaki is Russian Foreign Affairs Minister Sergey Lavrov, who caught attention for an Oval Office meeting in 2017 where President Trump controversially shared U.S. intelligence with him.
The hammer and sickle has come to represent communist movements around the world. It also was a feature of the flag for the former Soviet Union, which spawned from Russia's communist revolution and engaged in decades of brinksmanship in a "cold war" with the U.S. It has also become a symbol for brutal economic and political repression that occurs under communist regimes.
Biden's transition team noted to Fox News that gift exchanges are common on foreign trips, referencing how Kerry previously gave Lavrov two Idaho potatoes during a meeting in Paris.
Psaki's attire faced pushback from the Trump campaign on Monday.
"Here’s Jen Psaki hugging Russia's Foreign Minister and Russia’s chief foreign affairs propagandist while wearing a pink hammer and sickle hat," tweeted Trump campaign Deputy Director of Communications Matt Wolking.

Re: Confirmation That the Biden Administration is Communist
Good thing I'm not in politics as I would be accused of being a communist. I own a pocket watch with the hammer and sickle and red star on the case. It plays the internationale when opened. Also have a key chain with the Kremlin on the fob with a glory to the communist party inscription in Russian. They were bought for me in the Soviet Union.

But, but the Ukraine girls really knock you out, and make the West your behind ;@)
Being of Polish stock, I was raised knowing of the evils of the communist Soviet Union. The massacre at Katyn of Polish officers by the Soviets during WW II is an early memory.
I started listening to the audiobook, unabridged, of The Gulag Archipelago but had to take a break from it because of its grimness. I shall return to it though.

The Biden administration communist? Gee, what was your first hint? Throwing other people's money around like it's Christmas? They're the dream come true of every day-dream-believer.

Re: Confirmation That the Biden Administration is Communist
To be fair, who besides Donald Trump was not a communist in the last few decades? Some may have been half-baked communists.

Re: Confirmation That the Biden Administration is Communist
Fair question... and what's interesting is how there is little backlash or recognition of such a comment from many 'liberals' or from the parties. In Canada, PC and PPC may be upset at such a label, but certainly not the other parties. In the USA, it has become the norm, insofar as anyone admitting to it, although in a softer manner (e.g., Socialist Capitalism).PeterODonnell wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 11:06 pm To be fair, who besides Donald Trump was not a communist in the last few decades?
